The Huskies were ranked sixth in state according to wirunners.com with a record of 93-11, with all losses coming to top 15 teams in the state. Milan Stojanovic was named the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Runner of the Week on Oct. 2.

Hale traveled to Silver Lake to run in the Westosha Central Falcon Invitational. The host school was ranked 14th in the state and won the meet, but the Huskies beat seven other teams to finish second.

"The course was very tough and did not produce any (personal records) on the varsity for us," coach Ron Kurtz said. "Westosha has qualified for state each of the last two years."

The Hustlin' Hawks (2-5) found it slow going against Brown Deer (5-2) on Oct. 5 in a 33-0 loss.

Greenfield, which will close out its regular season at red-hot Tosa West (6-1) on Friday at 7 p.m., gained only 88 yards on 46 carries on the ground against a quick and hot pursuing Falcons defense, which stretched out the sideline plays and stuffed the interior runs. The Hustlin' Hawks got inside the Brown Deer 35-yard line only once and that was after a turnover.

Greenfield did not help itself by going zero for six through the air. The score was 20-0 at the break.

Reggie Blakely rushed for 42 yards on nine carries and Ashton Wendler had 31 yards on six tries.

Greenfield then beat Pewaukee on Oct. 4 (25-14, 25-13, 25-9). Jessie Kalous had 11 kills and three blocks, Krenzke handed out 35 assists and three aces and Bullock had 16 digs and three aces.
